This one is a homage to a Mixmag compilation by John B called Trance n' Bass. It was THE first real drum and bass mixtape I listened on repeat with my CD Walkman back in 2001/2002. Hoovers, reese bass, fast paced, trance basslines, ethereal vocals, you name it.

i would have liked to have some extra time to find some tasty vocals/hooks on top of this, but deadline was closing, so it went this way. Maybe I do a vocal edit some day.

Given how my week ended up, this is bit more extended proof of concept, but I'm pretty happy with it.

It's my first time with microtones (24 seems easiest for beginners), I'm really happy that I made it sound "not crunchy".

I started with simple melody and immediately got "alternative universe tribe" vibe with some uncanny flavour, so decided to lean into that.

Might revisit the idea next week tbh, I really like the direction

Also, probably will stay with 7/4 for a few weeks, to explore it further.

This was an impossible week to make music, but just before easter dinner :) I have uploaded something which I want to finetune coming week with better arrangement, especially for the breakdown where there are no drums to have it transition better from nothing to beats. Also after the washy fft bit at the end I want to come back with a drum section. Try out more variations with the drums as they are pretty straight forward, though dense.

not much to say this week.

i like bass. i wanted something a bit more slow.

it's been weird recently. i haven't been able to click with a lot of my modules and I'm not sure why.

practice though. it will improve.

It started with the sample and then I turned down the decay for the verse.

With Easter holidays and a birthday in the family I don't have a lot of time to work on a WB submission this week. I did manage to squeeze this one out.

I have a folder on the SD of my M8 called "ideas" in which I just put any small thing that I think is worth keeping for later. It turned me into a bit of an idea hoarder. Many of the ideas are just short loops that I don't always know how to develop into something longer that is still interested.

I went through this folder of ideas to find something to build on for this week. I picked this idea where I just had a simple progression that I made with the Macrosynth wave paraphonic (well, progression... it basically is just one voice that changes pitch). I built some things around it and there you are.

I kinda wrapped it up yesterday. I thought I'd just sleep on it one more night before finishing it up. Listening to it this morning I felt like it needs something to make it more interesting in some parts and I started to doubt the melodic line that briefly comes up by the end. I kinda like the subtle loop that it starts with, but then there expands with a kind of bell that is not starting to irritate me. However, I feel a bit lazy today and don't have concrete ideas to make it more interesting and neither do I feel like introducing big changes shortly before having to leave for a family thing.

So this is it for now. I think it could become better if I find a good alternative for picking up the energy again after the part where it slows down.

The fade-out in this one is not necessarily laziness in this case. I thought it kinda fits for this track.     

Oh! And to explain the name: I vibe coded a kind of tool that helps me identify the key(s) that my songs are (or could be) in that I wrote intuitively. It kinda mimics the phrase layout of the M8. You enter notes and basic on the notes and where they are placed (strong vs. weak beats) it suggests keys. If I remember correctly, it suggested C Dorian for this one.

I also just wanted to say that I appreciate the people in this community a lot (every now and then this needs to be said). I am not half as active as I would like to be, but please know that I appreciate all the amazing work posted on weekly beats, as well as the kind comments and meaningful feedback. You are the best!
